Post Malone may be one of the biggest names in music right now, but when it comes to El Paso, he’s practically a regular.

So in case you missed it, Posty is bringing his BIG ASS Stadium Tour 2 to the UTEP Sun Bowl Stadium on Wednesday, May 13, with special guests Jelly Roll and Carter Faith. Tickets went on sale Tuesday, February 10th, and fans across the Borderland are already counting down the days (especially me!).

For a city that has been landing major tour stops lately, Post Malone’s return feels like another huge win. While this upcoming stadium show is massive, it’s not his first connection to the Sun City.
